INTRODUCTION: Kachhawa are the suryavanshi Rajputs, they reigned over an area in and around Jaipur. Descendants of Kush, one the sons of Bhagwan Ramchandra Ji, King of Ayodhya and hero of the epic Ramayana, they were known as Kushwah (Kachhawa). Raja Sodh Dev, son of Raja Ishwar Das of Gwalior, conquered the area of Dausa by attacking and killing the Mina tribal chiefs. After this conquest, the Kachhawa Rajputs were known as the Rajas of Dausa, and when the capital of the Kachhawas kingdom was moved to Amber they were known as the Rajas of Amber.

SHORT HISTORY:
The name of the clan is derived from the Sanskrit káchchapa, most likely their tribal totem (#5). Kachhawa Rajputs belong to the Suryavansha vansh, and they ruled over an area in and around Jaipur. Their claimed ancestor is Kúsha, the younger of the twin sons of Lord Ráma aka Bhagwan Ramchandraji, King of Ayodhya and hero of the epic Ramayana, and are therefore, known as Kushwaha (or Kachhawa, Kachavaha, Kuchhwaha, Kacchavahas, Kakutstha, Kacchapghata, and Kurma). At a very early time, they constructed Rohtas Fort on the bank of the river Sône (in present day Bihar), sometime afterwards under Raja Nal, they migrated westwards to present-day Madhya Pradesh and founded Naisadha (Narwar) in about 295AD and in the 8th century, Raja Suraj Sen, built the Gwalior fort and founded that city, and in the 10th century, the clan occupied Narwar and remained there until the Parihar Rajputs captured Narwar early in the 12th century, only to lose it to Iltutmish in 1231. Epigraphic records show that in the 10th and 11th centuries, three families of Kacchapghata were ruling in areas almost contiguous to eastern Rajputana - at Narwar, Gwalior and Dubkund (#1). At that time they appear to have been feudatories of the Pratihars of Kannauj, leading to some scholars theorising that the Kacchapghata rulers were a branch of the Pratiharas, since both used similar titles and styles. Raja Sodh Dev, son of Raja Ishwar Das of Narwar, conquered the area of Dausa by attacking and killing the Mina tribal chiefs. Gwalior then remained under Muslim rule till 1375, when it was granted to Raja Veer Singh Tomar, whose descendants remained in possession till 1517. Finally in 1727 the capital of the kingdom was again moved, this time to Jaipur. Predecessors were....
Narwar, originally known as Naisadha is said to have been founded by Raja Nal around 300A.D. A line of 33 Rajas held Narwar, till they lost it sometime between 1093 and 1104. They regained it much later in 1506 and subsequently held it till the 18th century, when it fell to the Marathas.
Raja Nala, he lost Gwalior and moved to Naisadha, where he founded the Narwar Fort, married and had issue. He lived around 300A.D.

Raja Sodhadeva, Thakur Saheb of Nindarli and 1st Raja of Dhundhar 966/1006 or 1056/1096, he was dispossessed of the ancestral property (Gwalior, by his brother) and was forced to seek his fortune elsewhere; he conquered the territory of Dhundhar from the Minas and established his kingdom there on 27th December 966 (Kartik Badi 10th, VS 1023); married (amongst others), a Yadava Rana Jadimiji, and had issue. He died 15th December 1006 (Magh Sudi 7th, VS 1063). [Note- Narwar or Gwalior: Scholars seem to be divided fairly equally as to whether Raja Sodhadeva was from Narwar or from Gwalior. Since the Sasbahu Temple inscription of Raja Mahipal of Gwalior (dated 1093C.E.), lists the Rajas of Gwalior, it seems fairly clear that Raja Sodhadeva was from Narwar. Bardic accounts of the Kachhwahas of Amber seem to bear this out.]

Originally known as Gopadri, traditional and bardic accounts state that Gwalior was founded in legendary antiquity by Raja Suraj Sen who was followed by 84 Rajas to Raja Tej Karna who apparently gifted it to his son-in-law, a Pratihara Prince. The more likely account is that Raja Suraj Sen, a Pratihara ruler founded Gwalior in the 8th century and lost it to the Kacchapghata rajputs around 950-60, who maintained Gwalior to 1129, when the Pratihars once again gained control. Gwalior was annexed by the Delhi Sultanate from 1232 to 1375. In 1517 the Fort was taken by Ibrahim Lodhi and subsequently by Babar, the Raja was reduced in status to that of an ordinary jagirdar.
